The Hidden Jams

The Hidden Jams is a non-profit and the University of Georgia's Music Business Programs gift to the world. In the late 2000's, four co-founders and a couple dozen interns from UGA's Music Business Program tapped into a new form of music discovery by placing the power with the fans. As a resurrection and rebranding of "GoRankem", The Hidden Jams empowers music fans to rank, explain, and share their favorite songs, creating a crowdsourced guide to the most meaningful tracks in every artist’s catalog.https://linktr.ee/thehiddenjams
